The Chalker–Turner home makes an entrance. Follow the brick walk through the front gate to the covered porch, then step inside to original heart pine floors, a grand staircase and ceilings tall enough to give the detailed moldings their due. This turn-of-the-century home sits in Lake City’s Lake Isabella Historic Residential District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. With 2,891 square feet, three bedrooms, three full baths and four fireplaces, there’s plenty of room to spread out. The library might be your favorite spot, with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, original cabinetry and a vintage wallpaper mural. The formal dining room has its own fireplace and a decorative ceiling rosette, and the primary bath has a classic clawfoot tub. The eat-in kitchen is ready for everyday cooking or a house full of guests, with stainless steel appliances, a gas range with pot filler and a walk-in butler’s pantry. Updates include a metal roof, two-zone HVAC, plumbing and electrical improvements, and interior and exterior paint. The fully fenced lot gives you about a third of an acre to make your own. Have coffee on the porch, walk downtown for lunch, or take the long way home past Lake Isabella.
